Camera index last updated October 23, 2026.
There are 145 live webcams in Des Moines, United States, on WorldEye β public feeds published by Iowa DOT and arcgis_cams, all free to watch with no signup. Des Moines accounts for about under 1% of the 54,025 cameras WorldEye indexes in the United States, and every feed sits on the same searchable live map as WorldEye's 74,229 cameras worldwide.
Featured feeds in the index include DM - I-35/80 @ MM 137.3 (EB Exit to I-35 NB Split - East Mix), DM - I-35 @ MM 87.2 (I-35 SB Exits to I-80 Split - East Mix) and DM - I-35/80 @ MM 137.2 (EB Exit to I-35 NB - East Mix) β and every camera in the list below links straight into the live globe with that feed open, so you can go from this page to a live view in one tap.
The index mixes live video with still-image feeds: 145 of the 145 cameras stream video, and the rest publish still images that refresh at short intervals. Both kinds show current conditions β the stills are how most road operators publish, and they are plenty for judging congestion, weather and closures.
Use the grid the way it is meant to be used: a two-minute check of the cameras on your route before you leave. What is happening on the ground β a jam, a closure, a storm moving in β shows up on these feeds as it happens, not as a forecast said it would.
